he would personally watch the demonstration of the new technology. he kind of invented the precursor to the air force with the balloon corps meant to surveil enemy lines. he probably would have liked the surveillance ability but whether he liked the killing. he did suspend habeas corpus. so i talked to a couple of experts. the kind of consensus if we can call it that is he might have been okay with it legally or morally but strategically, you know,s a nateing robert e. lee or jefferson davis or head of the confed racy may not have been the most strategic choice. >> bill: well, there's a report this morning secretary of defense leon panetta in one of his farewell acts again as defense secretary yesterday announced a new medal for the pentagon. and this is a medal for people who are piloting drones. it is a new combat medal for those who are not actually engaged in combat. i should have done this before you came in. it is called the most -- no, the distinguished warfare medal. which will provide recognition for those who have a direct impact on combat
